Dragonfly will be a better choice for everyone in
a year or so, but as of now there are no choices.

The *tone* is caused by the entire user base
being lied to over and over, "performance is
addressed in the next release", yada, yada, yada.
Those of us in the know are tired of it. You're
wasting a lot of our time testing this crap over
and over. 

So stop lying. Stop allowing Kris Kennaway to BS
everyone on the questions list over and over and
calling anyone who speaks the truth a troll. Fess
up to  your debacle publically because you're
affecting people's businesses with your lying,
trying to cover your asses and refusing to admit
that you are just rambling cluelessly about.
There isn't one person on that team that knows
how to fix what's wrong, and you're using
thousand of people trying to run businesses as
guinea pigs.

Thats why some of us have a *tone*
